A series of volcanic eruptions of Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki on Indonesia’s remote island of Flores killed nine people and injured dozens with searing lava and ash, as buildings crumbled and terrified residents ran for their lives in darkness.

Indonesia will permanently relocate thousands of residents from around a volcano that erupted in recent days, killing nine people after spewing fireballs and ash on homes, officials said Wednesday.

Authorities reported that volcanic materials were flung up to 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) from the crater, blanketing nearby towns with ash and prompting residents to flee.

Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency says that at least ten people have died as a series of volcanic eruptions widens on the remote island of Flores.
